And that's what KaTTi and BaTTi mean in the language of Indian kids, at least to those in Hindi speaking areas. I believe the concept is used by kids almost everywhere across India, even though the nomenclature may be different.

KaTTi comes from the Hindi word Kaatna (to cut), and is used by kids to what you could call cut connection with their friends. BaTTi is end of 'KaTTi.' In the North, KaTTi was expressed with a click of thumb under one's chin, and BaTTi was known as abba.

Zabardast is a commonly used word in Urdu and Hindi, and is used for strong and loud things, mostly in positive sense. Zabardast would mean something powerful, though not vice-versa is necessary.

Zindabaad is a word that is more or less same as the phrase 'Live Long.' It's comes from the root Zinda, that means alive.
